Did Jesus Have a Wife?

A scholar presents on a 4th century scrap of paper with writing on it, prompting speculation the world over: did Jesus have a wife?

Darn tooting, he did.  She's featured in all four Gospels, has her adventures featured in Acts, and plays a huge role in the book of Revelation.

What's her name?


The Bride of Christ, the Mystical Body of Christ...the Church.
He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—  for we are members of his body.  “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”  This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.  However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.--Ephesians 5:28-33
